Around the quiet and historical Ranelagh Estate side of Mt Eliza you’ll find this pretty little cafe. It’s arguably the best spot in the village for absolutely scrumptious, healthy fresh food and is one of my favourite local cafes. Clean, modern and cute well kept facilities. ⏰ I’ve never had to wait long for food or drinks, even when it’s busy. Dietary options for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores. Gluten free options available. Dining both inside and outside available, including a couple of umbrella covered tables. Take away available for both food and drinks. Doggy bags available for leftovers. My favourites: Iced Matcha, #9 Hot Bowl, Lemon Tart, Vegan BLT. A small selection of giftware and organic products available on the back wall and sometimes on the front counter. Plenty of free parking available both on the street and in the back village parking lot. Bookings unnecessary. Standard and reasonable cafe pricing. Outdoor dining is wheelchair friendly, but indoors is currently not due to two little steps at the entrance. Dog friendly for outdoor seating and of course, service dogs welcome. Some dog treats available too for your furry friends. Child and family friendly location. A perfect spot to dine with pals, family or go on a cute date. The staff are always helpful and friendly and know all their regulars so it’s got a real community feel to it. Do yourself a favour and go pay them a visit! 10/10

Wow am I blown away with this morning’s breakfast! Very quick service and kept to all Covid restrictions. I ordered the “Post work out” superfood smoothie and the “Babolicious Açai Bowl”. Both were absolutely packed/ filled to the brim! And we’re incredibly delicious! Can’t wait to try more items on your menu.

Great local healthy place, I popped in today and they tailored a salad bowl to be keto (removed rice, added greens and avo!) it’s also good to support local, I’ll be back! Thanks Tara
